Chapter 11 Adobe Illustrator CS2 - Final Finishing Touches

Facing off with the last boss of the dungeon! Here are the finishing touches after the previous one. Do notice the color changes? Let me explain on the colors.

The green = refers to greenery, as in never ending forest full of trees.
The blue = refers to rivers and sea.
The light brown = refers to the desert, the wasteland, the leftovers of deforestation.
The darker brown with circles in it = refers to forest which had just recently being deforestated.

The meaning of this symbol i created is really simple. I illustrate the Earth as Gaia, or mother nature. So from a goddess; expected to be beautiful; turned ugly due to the process of deforestation. Through this process the beauty of mother Earth as seen above is tarnished and shud this continue; she would be totally destroyed and stripped off her beauty.

Chapter 10 Adobe Illustrator CS2 - PLEASE KILL ME NOW!!!

PLEASE KILL ME NOW!!! I screamed that the entire night. Yeah, i know i am insane. Heck i think most of the FCM's have turned mentally ill already. Anyways here comes the coloring, the hardest and the tedious part of the entire project. Well maybe its just due to my incompetence. As you can see, i use the brush tool to color it, along with the pain bucket. Its gonna be a shakespear's novel should i am going to describe every single process in detail, so i just give you the general idea. For the rest of the case, use your own imagination! For the photo on the left, it took me a bloody hell of 3 hours to reach it. I know its crazy, but well i had 3 retries to get it done.

Chapter 9 Adobe Illustrator CS2 - What a nightmare!

AND FINALLY!!!! I done with the outline. My hand was shaking in happiness when i joined up the final lines. It took me 1 hour to do this, unincluded the previous 4 failures....YEP YOU READ IT RIGHT!!! This is my 5th attempt! And so there i was laying on my chair sighing in relief that i won't be facing anymore hardships...or so i thought.

Chapter 8 Adobe Illustrator CS2 - What A Challenge!

Here we go!!! The hardest part of the story - lets attack the boss's lair! So i started to copy and paste the scanned version of the preliminary drawing chapter 7. From there i use the pen tool to slowly copy the outline of the image.

So sorry guys, i am a newbie in this illustrator, so i have to trace my picture from something. >,<
